Roger Neilson -> Minelaying subs (5/2/2006 8:53:00 AM)
To save me trawling through the list of subs and looking at each one, other than the O19 and O20 what other Allied subs were capable of minelaying please anyone? Roger

dtravel -> RE: Minelaying subs (5/2/2006 9:39:07 AM)
The unrefitted Argonaught.

Roger Neilson -> RE: Minelaying subs (5/2/2006 10:13:46 AM)
Hmmm, so just three subs in the whole allied fleet? Roger

dtravel -> RE: Minelaying subs (5/2/2006 11:10:44 AM)
I think those are the only ones that carry mines routinely. But I think any sub can perform a Submarine Minelaying mission, they just replace some of their torpedoes with mines. I don't know how many, I personally don't really do a lot of sub minelaying. I prefer to simply torpedo the ships.

I prefer to simply torpedo the ships. Look for the subs with large capacity, like the Salmons, if you want to do minelaying. Some subs like the s boats will only carry a few mines.

Milman -> RE: Minelaying subs (5/2/2006 1:02:50 PM)
I can't be sure but I think that subs with small cargo cap (cargo<36) can lay only 2 mines . Can someone confirm this ?

Sardaukar -> RE: Minelaying subs (5/2/2006 1:35:12 PM)
Subs that are not dedicated minelayers can usually lay about 12-18 mines, IIRC. Dutch O19 and O20 can lay 40 VH2 mines above that (VH2 in dedicated mine racks and 12 Mk10 in tubes). Argonaut was something like 60 Mk 12 and 12 Mk 10, IIRC...at least in CHS.

Back on topic If you use the non-dedicated subs for mine warfare ops its best to use them in flotillas 5-10 strong or the tiny minefields wont last long due to degredation. dropping off 70-120 mines a pop is much more useful in my experience.

I'm speaking from a Japanese perspective, but I suspect it's all the same. The Japanese have 4 minelaying subs (I-121-124) and they carry 50 mines each. I use them in 1 ship TFs and they are relatively effective that way. I'd say that, on average, 1-2 Allied ships hit sub mines a month. It's more for nuisance value than anything. Anything to give my opponents ulcers.....[:D]

Rob Brennan UK -> RE: Minelaying subs (5/2/2006 8:11:58 PM)
oh agreed absolutely .. dedicated mine layign subs go solo. non dedicated in flotillas/packs/bunches/gangs/mobs/gaggles/groups/prides etc.[:D]

You can load up with mines and have a little Glen flying around and it will drive them mad (assuming the sub don't get sunk). I've long considered that the best weapon for the IJN is to lay mines in enemy ports, and now I'm more convinced of it, as I forgot that ordinary subs could do this.

Milman I have just remebered that I had this information at my finger tips all the time. The mine carrying capacity of some different allied sub classes is given below. I think these figures assume the sub also carrys mines in the tubes Argonaut 68m British 'T' 20m Cachcalot 12m Dolphin 12m Gato 20m KXI 8m KXIV 12m Narwhal 12m O19 48m Perch 12m S Class 8m Tambor 20m I think the Salmons should also be able to carry a good load but don't have to the figures for them

Milman -> RE: Minelaying subs (5/3/2006 4:15:32 PM)
Are that intel for real subs or for WITP . I just checked and it say that sub cary only 2 mines (Allied S-sub(cargo = 24) ). I sent one sub on my base so i will have results in 1-2 turns in my PBEM .

I have been conducting a sub mine laying campaign in one game so have kept track of how many mines each sub type can load.

ny59giants -> RE: Minelaying subs (5/3/2006 6:37:37 PM)
I wish there was a way to keep track of mines in enemy ports that I lay and in coastal hexes, but those are on "my" personal Wish List. [&o] Does anyone have a way to keep track of them or do you just keep going back to the same spot every once in a while??

MK10s are not only better but when one goes off in the IO it makes the Japs think there are US subs about. [8D]
